NORMAN HUBBARD, 0F ELIZABETH, NEW" JERSEY..

To all whomz'z may concern Be it known that l, NORMAN HUBARD, a citizenof the United States, residing at Elizabeth, in the county of Union andState of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful improvementsin Bottle-Holders, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates particularly to improvements in holders fornursing'bottles, my principal object being to provide a de- .vice whichis collapsible when not. in use.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a device embodyingthe invention, ready for use. Fig. 2 shows the device folded orcollapsed. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views, partly in section, aof ajoint between the base and upright piece of the device, and, Fig. 5 is aperspective View of one form of bottle sling that may be used. y

A wire base a in Figs. 1 and 2, having its ends upturned to formcooperating jaws united by two pins or rivets f and gfsupports anextensible hollowupright member Z). A slotted and recessed tail-piece ccomprises the lower end of the upright and forms a joint with thecoperating jaws of the base a, thus making it possible to fold thedevice when not in use. In the tail-piece c the slot embraces the pin fand when the device is in position for use the recess straddles the ping (Figs. 1 and 3). An arm, as c, and a sling Z serve as adjustable meansfor suspend-ing a bottle from the upright b, the arm being L-shaped andits lower end being rotatable and extendible in the up` right wherein itmay be secured in its adjusted osition by a wing nut h. The sling ispreferably formed of a single piece of wire which is adapted to hold thebottle at This wire is bent so as to form aloop for the body of thebottle and a hook to engage the neck thereof, the hook Specification ofpetters Patent.

being adapted to be sprung around the neck so as to engage it iirmly andresiliently.

l claim as my invention:

1. In a bottle holding device the combination of a iatvhorizontal baseformed of wire having the ends approaching and bent upward, a standardhaving a lower member hinged between the bent-up ends of the baseforming wire, means for holding the stand-` ard in normal uprightposition, the standard comprising telescoping members, the upper oneof'which is bent laterally, and means provided at the end of the lastmentioned member for holding aV bottle, the standard being constructedso that the bent member can be swung angularly relative to the hingedmember and so that when the members are in telescoped or closed positionthe standard can be swung downwardly whereby the base and the standardcan lie in substantially the same plane.

2. In a bottle holding device the combi nat-ion of a flat horizontalbase formed of wire having approaching ends, a 'standard'l having alower member hinged to said ends, means for holding the standard innormal upright position, the standard comp-rising telescoping members,the upper one of which is bent laterally and means provided at the endof the" last mentioned member for holding a bottle, the standard beingconstructed so that the bent 4member can be vswung angularly relative tothe hinged member and so that when the members are in telescoped orclosed position the standard `can be swung downwardly whereby the baseand the standard can lie insubstantially the same plane.
